Nearly 90% Of Workers Are Using AI At Work, Mostly Without Employer Support
eWeek, Friday, January 30th, 2026
AI is everywhere at work. but training is not.
Eighty-nine percent of employees now use AI on the job, even as most lack formal training to do so, according to new research from Study.com. The findings suggest that AI has become common at work, but training hasn't kept pace.
The survey of 1,000 employed workers across industries shows AI has become a routine part of daily work, driven largely by self-teaching rather than structured programs. That gap between widespread use and limited training sets up a growing challenge for organizations as AI becomes embedded in everyday workflows.
